    This document contains written responses from City of Scranton administration to questions raised by Council President Tom Schuster at a June 16, 2026 council meeting. Regarding the problem property at 1708 Wayne Avenue, the city advised the homeowner it could be designated a nuisance based on police call volume, with tenants currently under eviction pending appeal; a rental inspection was begun on April 10 but the second reinspection remains unscheduled and the property has not yet passed. Police Department records show approximately eleven incidents at the property since January 1, 2026, while the Fire Department responded twice in 2026 for basement flooding. The administration clarified that the pending RFP being prepared is separate from the EMS Feasibility Study conducted by Fitch & Associates, which evaluated the current EMS system and made recommendations based on response performance and financial impact.

  • Responses to City Council – February 10, 2026 | PDF

    On February 10, 2026, the City Council received responses to questions from a February 3 meeting, primarily addressing pave cut inspections for the Green Ridge water company project and ARPA grant allocation. The city confirmed that Pennoni conducts weekly inspections of utility work, documents findings in reports tied to specific permits, and notifies utilities of deficiencies—with violations issued if issues are not timely addressed; temporary cold patch repairs are being used due to winter weather conditions preventing hot-mix asphalt installation. The administration also provided details on ARPA grant tracking through subrecipient check-ins and quarterly reports, and listed specific allocations to organizations including NeighborWorks (business façade, home buyer, and home rehabilitation programs totaling approximately $865,881) and United Neighborhood Centers (business façade and disaster relief totaling approximately $129,930).
